André Macius obtained a degree in mechanics, from Ford Motors in Haiti. He worked for several years as private chauffeur and special duty for the Francois Duvalier Administration as well as Ovide Simone Duvalier's Orphanage. André Macius excelled at his job and made a name for himself. He never shined away from hard work. As he was thriving on that sector, he received the call from God to serve. He resigned from his job and went to biblical school of Nazareth, with Pastor Firmain as president. He became a pastor and started to serve as such at a First Nazarene Baptist Church in Fought, La Plaine du Cul De Sac, Haiti.

As the Duvalier Administration would not accept their defeat of losing André Macius , he decided to leave his Homeland and migrated to the US in the early 1980's. He immediately fell in love with the country and the many opportunities it had to offer. He settled in the hearts of Midtown Miami Florida . At around the same time, he met with late Maude Nicolas and late Pastor Saul’s ministry . After Pastor Saul’s death, Pastor André Macius Louis transitioned to the Nicolas’s Ministry at Church of God of Bethel. He was devoted to the service of the Lord and loved his assembly. The Nicolas' was part of his "inner circle of very rare friends." Pastor André Macius was a faifthful member of Church of Bethel at 3219 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami Florida, where he served as pastor from the 1980's until the time of his death in March 2021.

Pastor André Macius had worked at Pioneer Shipping at 3250 North River Drive, in Miami FLorida since he migrated until the time of his retirement in June 2009.

Andre Macius was a family man, a proud dad of 7 children and great father and husband. He brought his family over from Haiti and continued to support his siblings and relatives incessantly until his death. He gave back to his community, preached the gospel, financially helped out a lot of people to better their lives. Andre Macius was a generous man who would forget about himself to help others. “Se pou nou viv byen youn ak lòt “ was his mission statement and belief.

He was known to be a disciplinarian, no nonsense kind of guy, courageous, generous, loyal to a fault, a brave Knight of Christ's bataillion, a true representative of God's kingdom. He was that and many more.
